There is an article on Pitt Tribune today about the issue of what happens now as the Cowher organization and players age out of the league. Someone posted the drafts in the Tomlin era and someone compared that to the 1980s, essentially a lost decade for those of you old enough to remember those days. It looks eerily similar for the majority of players drafted in comparison. Plus, Cowher was better at free agent acquisition. I think there is only one really good play acquired in Tomlin's era--Suisham has been awesome this year. So now you are looking at Troy Pola probably on his last legs, literally, Harrison is effective but slow. Ike is still the only reliable corner at all. On offense, this current batch of dipshit receivers is annoying and there is no steady H. Ward to rely upon. With the drafts since 2007 not hitting home runs, with no intelligent free agents, the next years look rough.

You gotta also give Tomlin credit for Mewelde Moore, who had a stellar '08 in replacing all of our broken down RBs, and I'd even say Jericho Cotchery, who's as solid of a #3 or #4 as anyone you'll find in FA.

For me, the biggest disappointment with this team has to be the WR's. Before the season, I thought this group was a team strength with it's youth and athleticism, despite feeling Wallace was overrated. I can think of at least 4 games where they literally cost us the game by either fumbling, dropping the ball, or not fighting off an intercepting DB (Fuckin' Wallace). It's just not one or two guys either, but literally every damn one of them!!! - except for maybe Cotch. They spent too much time before the season reading about how good they were, but now they've regressed into a bunch of pussified punks who can't take a hit. This group, specifically, is why we won't make the playoffs or end up one and done. If Ben doesn't run around for 11 seconds they can't even get open! Then, they jump up and dance around like queers sentenced to life on Broke-back mountain; when, in reality, Ben did all of the fucking work!

I never understood how people can criticize blogs and forums yet they post in them? If you don't like it - don't read it. Why is that so difficult?

Where did I say I didn't like the blog? I posted "the Steelers suck" like almost everyone else and got blasted. I changed it to "I like the Steelers" and I got blasted. I'm confused. Do we hate em or not? Still Mill hates'em and has convinced me to as well. Isn't that the point? How am I out of bounds? Help me out.

Obviously, you're either not smart enough to figure things out on your own or you're just trolling. Either way, I really have nothing else to discuss with you.

You called em queers, but I can't say they suck?! So it's not bad to hate on the Steelers here, just certain things I can't say, correct? Shoot me a list of what things are too offensive to you on this site and I'll try and limit those expressions. Forgive me SoCal?
